Wee baby goats on display. There were also some funky chickens, but the lighting under the tent was too challenging to capture their plumage. Beautiful, sunny days are wonderful for festivals but tough on creatures in pens and too high-contrast to make for good phone photos. C'est la vie!

To me there are few things better than a fiber-y festival at a colonial era property in New England. It combines some of my favorite things. So, a little bit about Gore Place, which is still farmed today.
